To Buy Penny Stocks
We do not trade penny stocks trading over the counter mainly because of the lack of liquidity along with the lack of regulations in the OTC market. They are far more susceptible to manipulation which makes them dangerous to trade.
Listed penny stocks, or stocks trading on an exchange like the NYSE or NASDAQ is where we focus our attention. They have the ability to make huge moves intraday and are cheap enough to put on large positions.
These stocks can come out with news overnight that result in a 50% drop to the downside or a 100% squeeze to the upside. Anyone investing or day trading in these types of securities has to be prepared for the possibility of a total loss.
Many people would consider becoming a millionaire by day trading penny stocks to be the ultimate rags to riches story. By trading the cheapest stocks on the market, you can invest small amounts of money and see huge returns.

In addition, many NASDAQ prices are quoted regularly in newspapers, allowing you to follow the price of your security instead of forcing you to rely on your broker for all price information.
